“Aussie, Aussie, Aussie” “Oye, Oye, Oye”

“Aussie, Aussie, Aussie,” “Oye, Oye, Oye”

In Australia a few years back I asked our tour guide an Aussie about the origin of the above phrase. When she answered you could tell a wave of patriotism swelled up in her voice, as she spoke about the 2000 Olympics in Sidney, Australia, how many of her countrymen left for other parts of the country and else where, stirred to leave by negative comment and unfounded rumors of what the Olympics might bring to Sydney.

For those who stayed and participated in the Olympic process it produced the most memorable moment in their lives. She admitted she did not know how or who started the chant but recalls how during the Olympics her countrymen swelled with patriotism and pride as they blared out the chant over and over again.

To this day if you yell out, the first three words of the phrase “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie”, you will likely be met with a chorus of Oye, Oye, Oye

Words from the MasterpieceMan, words to live by, words to encourage, words to inspire, words to provoke thought and just words. FACEBOOK use to be where I shared my thoughts and though they call themselves a Social Site it doesn’t allow you extend Friendship requests to anyone unless you know them first. In fact if you do they penalize you for harassing people even though the receiver has the option of accepting or refusing your request. Over three thousand people accepted my friendship request before Facebook said that was a (crime) or against company policy. So much for being a Social Site. Anyways here I am and excuse me if I extend a friendship request to you even if I don’t know you, it’s just the way I am. I believe there is greatness in everyone and if you have a mind to, you can bring it out and use it to be the best person you can or achieve your goals & dreams. A little about me, I am married, live in California, love to joke around, travel the world and sometimes overstep my boundary. lol’s
